Setting 73%.

6 patrols in , its Jan 43. Last patrol I sunk over 56,000tn, 3 large oil tankers and 6 other ships. My first Large oil tankers took 10 torps each to sink, this time, I was sitting between 2 lanes 1 tanker bow other stern. Bow tanker got all 6 and the aft one got all 4. Both exploded and sunk (Im not sure if its because I now set the torps to within 1.5mts of there draft).

I went after the 3rd Large oil tanker in the convoy and with only 1 torp reloaded I thought about not wasting it on a 10,000tn tanker. But I thought I may slow it down, so I got ahead of it and lay in wait. Right on here 90 I let her have it! Boom.. Splash died down and seconds later some flames and smoke, then BOOOM a fireball and up she went. 10,000tn Large Oil tanker with 1 torp.

you can never tell if it will be 1 shot or 10.

But I have now got a total of over 250,000tns from my 6 missions.
